This paper describes the design, development, and testing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with automated capabilities: searching a prescribed area, identifying a specific building within that area based on a small ...

A simple necessary and sufficient condition is given for a general member of the complete linear system Y to be irreducible and nonsingular where Y is a reduced, connected curve on a K-3 surface.

In this work, we present an approach to jointly segment a rigid object in a two-dimensional (2D) image and estimate its three-dimensional (3D) pose, using the knowledge of a 3D model. We naturally couple the two processes ...

We employ the new geometric active contour models, previously formulated, for edge detection and segmentation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and ultrasound medical imagery. Our method is ...

In this paper the problem of the H∞ optimization of multivariable distributed systems in the four block setting is studied. This work is based on several previous papers and employs the skew Toeplitz framework developed ...

We propose algorithms for tracking the boundary contour of a deforming object from an image sequence, when the nonaffine (local) deformation over consecutive frames is large and there is overlapping clutter, occlusions, ...

Two key aspects of coupled multi-object shape analysis and atlas generation are the choice of representation and subsequent registration methods used to align the sample set. For example, a typical brain image can be labeled ...

In this paper we present a new computationally efficient numerical scheme for the minimizing flow approach for the computation of the optimal L₂mass transport mapping. In contrast to the integration of a time dependent ...

In this paper we extend some of the results of [IEEE Trans. Automat. Control, AC-31 (1986), pp. 763–766] to more general delay systems. In particular, we analyze the effect of the interaction of delays and nonminimum phase ...
